There are a decent amount of weapons for different playstyles, and some have alternate attacks.
There is also blocking and stealth, if those are your thing.

Enemies tend to have 1-2 different attacks, so not much complexity there.
Its generaly, do you have access to food and armor that can keep you alive against x-enemy, rather than skill or blocking(although it helps a bit).
Dodging and running works on most enemies though.
Food determines max hp, stamina, and health regen, so it hugely determines if you can wander in range of enemies or not, and what biomes you can go into ''savely''.
